Please focus on one issue per bug report. I've edited your description to focus on the shutdown issue.
Instead of holding the power button, there is a better way to shut down if the shutdown icon isn't working. Log out and press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to bring up a terminal. Log in to the terminal and run the following command to shut down:
sudo init 0

Hi,

Thanks for replying. Last night after leaving the Bug Report I noticed that the panel now hides and comes out smoothly. I now also have a xscreensaver but have to start it each time as I have not found a way to make it the default one. Just happy to have a screensaver. Also when I clicked on Shut Down last night it actually did shut down the computer. So that has been fixed also. If anything else comes up I will ask a question on Launchpad. Thank you for the info.

Hi,

Thank you. When I clicked on the Shut Down link last night it actually shut down. So that problem was solved somehow.. Also the panel and the screensaver issues have been solved also. I have let Launchpad know and put the problem as Solved. I will keep your message in case I have future problems. Although I do think the problems have been fixed.
